The Newark-born singer Connie Francis had a massive run of pop hits in the late ’50s and early ’60s. Three of her singles — “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool,” “My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own,” and “Don’t Break The Heart That Loves You” — became #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Francis recorded tons of songs during that run, and not all of them were hits. Now, one of those songs, a 1962 deep cut called “Pretty Little Baby,” has become an out-of-nowhere TikTok sensation, and Francis didn’t even remember recording it at first.
